One of the attractions of Banepa is the temple of Chandeshwori, located approximately 1 kilometer northeast of the town along the Punya mata River next to Ghokechaur having a length of 0.21 kilometres.

The temple also consists of the painting of lord Bhairava on one of its wall which is the biggest graffiti of the Nepal Mandala.

The demon was a plague to the world since Shiva gave him a boon that made him unbeatable except by women.

When Chanda arrived with a big army of demons, all the gods took the forms of different birds and flew.

Now the goddess appeared on a big lion and a terrible fight between her and Chanda started.
